How to name your crypto project
Written for crypto startups, Web3 projects, DeFi protocols and crypto media:

- Pick a name you're comfortable defending against phishing lookalikes; buy obvious typo variants.
- Avoid tying the name to a single chain if you expect to go multichain.
Common mistake: Don't use hype words like 'moon', 'safe' or '100x', which instantly signal a meme coin to serious users.
